Yep.Sell - with Pearl, Thompson and Freeze he likely won't have another head coaching change in a major sport for at least a couple of years. Harris is trying to rebuild WBB so he can give her a couple of more years too. He's been on the job for 4 weeks so he won't take all the heat for hiring Freeze, everyone knows it's wasn't his decision. And if Freeze gets them playing well, all will be forgiven soon. Should be a fairly low stress job for 1-2 years.
Sell: Based on just what casual fans know about Auburn disfunction, there is no way he didn't know exactly what kind of mess he was walking into. Of course, he may have known, but assumed that a Freeze hire was a bridge too far, even for Auburn...
Buy. He left a good situation in Starkville. I can’t imagine he is looking forward to the press conference, when instead it should be his first big opportunity to show the fans what he is capable of doing.
I really don't see any scenario in which Cohen thought it was ok to hire Freeze. You know he's miserable down there.
Sell. I can't imagine he didn't discuss this with them when he interviewed. And I can't imagine they hid the fact they'd been in discussions with Freeze for weeks. I think it gives credence to the story that Cohen was forced out at MSU. Either that or he was never nearly as stand up a guy as a lot of people said he was.
Buy, and more Regret will come later as well.....Sell. Regret will come much later.
Sell. He was brought in to be the fall guy when things go9 sideways. After all, he's not an "Auburn Man".
Agreed. I’m sure Cohen and Auburn thought Kiffin was in the bag. I’m thinking Kiffin was willing to bet A&M or Bama will come open in the near future.I really don't see any scenario in which Cohen thought it was ok to hire Freeze. You know he's miserable down there.
I think he sees a path to the Final Four, the College Football Playoff, and the CWS. As competitive as he is, I think he is far from miserable. He is in his element.I really don't see any scenario in which Cohen thought it was ok to hire Freeze. You know he's miserable down there.
PreachSell. If I’m offered that kind of money to just sit and act busy while making the calls they want, I’ll take it.
